Another one bites the dust. Last week Colin Firth confirmed that he was being courted to play the role of Adrian, the very sick and twisted villain in Oldboy, by Spike Lee and Mandate Pictures. Well they will have to look elsewhere because now..
Twitch has learned that Firth has now officially passed on the project meaning they need to find someone else to play opposite Brolin in what is being planned as an early 2012 shoot.
This movie, like another upcoming remake/adaptation of a Manga
Akira, really seems to have no luck with nailing down a cast. Christian Bale was also wanted for this role, and a couple of months ago
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo's Rooney Mara declined the female lead. Could it be a sign of a dodgy script? Guess we will find out once a cast is sorted out and the movie is with us in late 2012/early 2013.
A man kidnapped and imprisoned on his daughter’s birthday is held captive for fifteen years. Upon his release he embarks on an obsessive mission to find the reason for his imprisonment and soon finds out that his kidnapper has plans for him more tortuous than solitary confinement.
